Question of ballance? Flywheel.

I have been thinking more and more about a question that came up elsewhere on the forum and I'm wondering if you chaps across the pond might have some thoughts on this.
I have a GTD with the orginal flywheel, out of a V6 granada I think, and a new SVO 302 cratemotor. Now the crank ballance on the motor is the 50oz spec and I have installed a 50oz dampner as required. But I did'nt think about it and put the rest of the powertrain together, R21T, rebuilt stock clutch upgraded by centerforce, and everthing seams to work fine. The question is, is the flywheel ballanced to something other than the 50oz standard that this motor is or is this even a question to worry about. I have a flywheel that came with the motor from ford, it is too big to fit in the renault bellhousing, but I could use it to "match" ballance the smaller flywheel I have in the car if necessary. What do you guys do with the GTD kit flywheels when you use them with a 50oz 302?
Buy the way the upgrade centerforce clutch is working fine with the power this motor has, about 350-375hp and I would like to keep it.
What do you GTD guys think?
